Sunday Prep & Plans

Hi friends, happy Sunday! How is your weekend going? Mine has been pretty busy. Yesterday I went grocery shopping for Monday, cut my hair (literally, I cut my hair!), and stopped by visited my mom and sister with some Beautycounter goodies. Today I have church in the morning, getting together some raffle baskets for a local 5K fundraiser, prepping some food for the upcoming week, and visiting a close friend at the hospital. Tomorrow is day one of my Fed + Fit Project! I’m feeling well prepared and I’m looking forward to starting this new adventure!

I did my grocery shopping yesterday and spent about $120 for the week. I also recently signed up for Butcher Box and got my first shipment on Friday, so if I get a monthly shipment that adds approximately $30-40 to each week’s total. That makes my grocery bill for this week approximately $160. That’s definitely more than I would normally spend on groceries in a week, but we won’t be getting takeout 1-3 times a week like we used to, so I expect it to balance out.

Something I’ll need to start prioritizing is a Sunday Prep. It doesn’t have to take all day, but a little bit of time spent in the kitchen Sunday will set me up for success for the whole week! So here’s what I’m doing today:

make the sausage frittata for easy breakfasts

make the lemon spaghetti squash for the casserole (actually this will be zucchini because spaghetti squash is hard to find in June!)

make short ribs for dinner 🙂

prep/cut/wash remaining fruit and veggies for the week

As far as fitness goes, I’m going to commit to working out in some capacity at least 4 days a week. There are workouts in the book, but they’re pretty intimidating. They seem like an at-home version of cross-fit workouts, and that is a LOT to jump into right away. So I’ll try mixing up the less-scary workouts from the book with some from a new-to-me app I’m trying called Aaptiv. From what I’ve heard, Aaptiv has a ton of different workouts for every style and time frame. I’m looking forward to trying those out! And of course I’ll let you know my thoughts after I try it out for a bit.

It’s also worth noting that I did take some “before” pictures and measurements, but I won’t be sharing those until I have some updates to compare them to. It feels a little to self-deprecating for me to post before photos/stats without showing any progress. So they’ll be here eventually, but not today. 🙂

Do you have a “Sunday prep” routine? How to you plan for the week ahead?
